A top 10 point guard in Michigan's loaded group of 2029 playmakers, Bryton Nostrant will play for Midland Dow next season. He had a 42-point game for Alpena as a freshman.

Many of our guys are playing spring sports this year, which we love to see. But some of our HS guys have landed in a really nice situation with @REALbasketball_ this spring. An AAU program that does things the right way, and does a nice job developing players. Check em out..

[Lance Maney @lancemaney1]

Travel basketball is great

Opportunity to play & compete

But the main thing is when you get home from these tournaments, you need to get in the gym with purpose

Otherwise your game won’t really change

Offseason

[REAL Basketball @REALbasketball_]

6’4” guard Will Young II @youngiiw22 has been one of the most prolific scorers in the GMAC. Crafty with the ball, he consistently puts points on the board for Northwood (MI) @Northwoodmbb from anywhere on the floor. He creates separation with ease, gets to his mid-range spots, knocks down deep shots, and finishes through contact at the rim. He averaged 17.3 points per game (3rd in GMAC), leading Northwood to a jump from a 9–19 record last season to 16–13 this year, earning First Team All-GMAC honors.

The other alarming stat, last year 30% of NCAA mbb players entered the transfer portal. Almost 1 in 3

[Lance Maney @lancemaney1]

One of the main takeaways from the NCAA rules meeting at the final 4 - the majority of players that enter the transfer portal do not find a team
